(March 19, 2024 – Clearwater, FL) Koozie Group is pleased to announce that it raised $26,667.23 for 4 Paws for Ability in 2023 as a result of its plush giveback program.
The program, which began in 2022, involves donating 1 percent of stock plush sales referencing a specific code to 4 Paws for Ability. This giveback was started by IMAGEN Brands, which recently integrated with Koozie Group.
Since 1998, 4 Paws for Ability has placed over 1,500 highly specialized service dogs with those in need. Their dogs help veterans, children, and other individuals with autism, diabetes, epilepsy, mobility issues, and more.
Melissa Ralston, Chief Revenue Officer with Koozie Group, said, “As part of our Keep It. Give It.™ vision, we strive to do business in a way that benefits our people, our customers, our communities, and our industry. Givebacks are one of the many ways we accomplish this goal, and we are so proud to support amazing organizations like 4 Paws for Ability.”
KaLynn Clark, Development Director at 4 Paws for Ability, said, “4 Paws for Ability raises, trains, and places over 100 task-trained service dogs every year. These life-changing placements would not be possible without partners like Koozie Group. Thank you, Koozie Group, for your support, which will help children and veterans receive their much-needed service dogs!”
After donating more than $17,000 to 4 Paws for Ability in 2022, IMAGEN Brands decided to continue its sponsorship of the organization through 2023. As a result of its ongoing support, last year IMAGEN Brands was able to sponsor and name a newborn litter of puppies that are currently being trained to become service dogs.
Following the recent integration with IMAGEN Brands, Koozie Group is proud to continue this giveback in 2024.
